The loss of Marinella has plunged Greece into mourning. Last Saturday evening, the legendary singer passed away, leaving behind an enormous void in the Greek music scene and in the hearts of those who loved her. Her career, unique performances, and dedication to her talent made Marinella a symbol of voice and authenticity. Her funeral has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 31st, at 2:00 PM, at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, while her body will lie in state for public viewing at the chapel of the Holy Church of Saint Eleftherios from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The public has the opportunity to bid farewell to the beloved singer before this final moment.
Marinella: Two exceptional eulogies for the beloved singer
Despite the fact that Marinella herself did not want eulogies, as revealed by Mary Averinopoulou on the “Morning” show, two great artists will speak for her. Haris Alexiou and George Dalaras will be the only people to deliver eulogies, honoring her life and career. “Haris Alexiou was, for Marinella, the most important Greek female singer. She herself didn’t want eulogies, but Haroula did. George Dalaras rarely speaks publicly. It will be these two, because they don’t want to tire the people either, they want everything to be in perfect harmony,” stated Mary Averinopoulou, describing the singer’s special choice and her respect for this final moment.
